PucciNiA MALVACEARUM Mont. — On the cultivated hollyhock and 

 other species of Malva. Described by McAlpine as follows : 



"III. Teleutosori generally hypophyllous, brown to reddish- 

 brown or orange, but grayish when spores are germinating, compact, 

 round, pulvinate elongate on stems, scattered or crowded, seldom 

 confluent, at first covered by epidermis, soon naked.
